Murguia is one of seven children of Alfred and Amalia Murguia, who emigrated from Mexico in 1950.[1] He was born in 1957 in Kansas City, Kansas.[2] Murguia was raised in the Kansas City community of Argentine.[1]


Murguia received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kansas in 1979,[2] where he majored in journalism.[1] He then earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1982.[2]



Career


Murguia was in private practice in Kansas City from 1982 to 1987.[2] He was a part-time hearing officer and small claims judge of the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas from 1984 to 1990.[2] He was a coordinator of the Immigration Amnesty Program at El Centro, Inc. from 1985 to 1990.[2] He was a full-time hearing officer of the Wyandotte County District Court in 1990, and District Court Judge of Division 8 on the Court from 1990 to 1999.[2]

Murguia was nominated by President Bill Clinton on March 24, 1999, to the seat on the United States District Court for the District of Kansas vacated by Sam A. Crow.[2] He was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 8, 1999, and received his commission on September 22, 1999.[2] Murguia is the first Latino to serve as a federal judge in Kansas.[1]
